Aspen Comics has announced that, "following a delay due to unforeseen circumstances," Joe Benitez's Lady Mechanika wil return on July 13 with #2 as well as the Lady Mechanika Collected Edition.
"The encouragement for the next issue of Lady Mechanika, and the patience of both the fans and retailers in this regard cannot be understated," said Vince Hernandez, Aspen's editor-in-chief. "We're so thankful that everyone understood that the situation for the delay was unplanned and definitely unintended. We're well aware of the importance of delivering the series on time and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
"But, we're also thrilled to be able to provide, in our opinion, an amazing issue #2 that we are extremely proud of, and I think that people will really be pleased with the final product."
